Harness Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for DevOps Platforms For the Second Consecutive Year

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harness, the AI DevOps^® Platform company, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for DevOps Platforms, marking its second consecutive year in the Leaders quadrant.

Engineering teams are operating at unprecedented speed as organizations face mounting pressure to accelerate software delivery while managing tighter security requirements, shrinking budgets, and the added complexity of artificial intelligence. Traditional DevOps tools aren't built for this scale or pace, but Harness is.

"As software delivery becomes more complex, we are committed to providing a DevOps platform that delivers on innovation and scale, without sacrificing speed, governance, or reliability," said Jyoti Bansal, co-founder and CEO at Harness. "AI is transforming how teams build and release software, and Harness is focused on meeting that moment. Following our recent merger with Traceable, we've expanded that vision to more deeply embed application and API security into every stage of the SDLC.. We believe our position as a Leader is a testament to the flexibility of our modular platform, our user experience and security as core pillars of modern DevOps, and our product. To us, this recognition from Gartner is an important milestone as we continue shaping the future of AI-powered software development."

Harness continues to invest in a deliberate and differentiated approach to platform innovation – delivering new capabilities rapidly while ensuring they work seamlessly across the software delivery lifecycle. Each module is designed to solve a specific challenge in modern DevOps, yet integrates deeply with the broader platform to provide a consistent, secure, and scalable experience.

This innovation strategy enables Harness to meet the evolving needs of engineering teams without adding complexity or overhead.
